Ecuador’s climate is complex and shaped by interacting factors such as its equatorial location, atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns, and significant topographic barriers within a relatively small geographic area. The country is divided into four natural regions: the Coastal Region (La Costa), the Amazon Region (Oriente/Eastern), the Andean Highlands (Sierra), and the Galápagos Islands (Insular Region).
